Welcome to the Wednesday edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, a fantasy baseball column focused on helping you find the best core lineup for this slate of DFS action!

For those of you finding us for the first time, the concept behind MLB DFS Picks and Pivots is to give you a first look at the day’s MLB DFS slate, including our top picks, plays and pivots, using FantasyDraft pricing as a reference to help you build your best fantasy baseball line-up and win big.

Picks and Pivots is not a simple “best plays” column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate.

Tuesday night was all about the bats for me as I loaded up on Coors Field and barely scratched out 15 combined fantasy points from a double punt of Houser/Smyly. All told, with the Red Sox and Rockies combining for 16 runs, even the small output from my arms was enough to move across the cash line in GPP’s. The winning overall lineup on FantasyDraft’s $25 Home Run GPP used a 6 man Indians stack alongside Luis Castillo and Masahiro Tanaka to swerve off the field and take down a tournament.

Picks and Pivots is not a simple “best plays” column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate. The goal of this article is to dig through the slate, highlight our top plays and help you identify the best slate strategy across your MLB DFS line-ups.
